Sharon Van Etten - Joke Or A Lie

What should I do?

I am lost

Tell me to leave the next time

I'm in front of you

I can't relate

Chip on your shoulder

How do you deal with that weight?

My hands are getting tired

Call it a joke or a lie

Call it a joke or a lie

Put your coat on

Then believe me

I try

Let us escape

For a night

Breathe the silence

I am alone

But I am alone

In this room with you

Call it a joke or a lie

Call it a joke or a lie

Put your coat on

Then believe me

I tried

Sharon Van Etten - Give Out

There were your eyes in the dark of the room,
The only ones shining,
The only set I had met in years.
It's not because I always look down.
It might be I always look out.
It might be I always look out.
I am biting my lip
As confidence is speaking to me.
I loosen my grip from my palm,
Put it on your knee.
In my way,
I say
You're the reason why I'll move to the city or
Why I'll need to leave.
You're the reason why I'll move to the city or
Why I'll need to leave.

There was your breath on the back of my neck,
The only one holding,
The only one I had felt in years.
It's not because I always hold on,
It might be I always hold out.
It might be I always hold out.
I am biting my lip
As confidence is speaking to me.
I loosen my grip from my palm,
Put it on your knee.
In my way,
I say
You're the reason why I'll move to the city or
Why I'll need to leave.
You're the reason why I'll move to the city or
Why I'll need to leave.

So what's with the eyes in the back of the room?
The only ones trying.
The only ones I have let in years.
It's not because I always give up,
It might be I always give out.
It might be I always give out.
It might be I always give out.
It might be I always give out.

Sharon Van Etten - All I Can

The sun is at stake
And I'm at your window
Beyond all sleep and I can't speak
In old Tokyo, translate memories
That I cannot free,
But what will it take?
We all make mistakes
We all try to free
The sighs of the past
We don't want to last.
Need love erase to let out my mind?
Wanting to love as new as I can
Wanting to show I want my scars to help and heal
How much you wanted
So much you found

Try not to beg too much to be
Calling my heart and know you are real
But my memory steals every moment I can feel
What will it take?

We all make mistakes
Even though I try to stand
Even though it's slowly
I do all I can
But who is my man?
The memory of you?
The love or the due?
To carry a face
I do all I can.
We all make mistakes.

Sharon Van Etten - Serpents

It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
With a bowl you had owned
But they didn't know
Close in on my black eye
I feel safe at times
Certain emblems
Tell me it's time

Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
Everything changes
I don't want mine to this time

You enjoy sucking on dreams
So I will fall asleep
With someone other than you
I had a thought you would take me
Seriously and listen on

Serpents in my mind
I am searching for your crimes
Everything changes
In time
You'll stay frozen in time
Collaging girls, controlling minds
You hold the mirror well to everybody else

Serpents in my mind
Trying to forgive your crimes
Everyone changes in time
I hope he changes this time.
